Figure 18. Bit Assignments for 24-Bit Data Stream of AD7834
When 14-bit transfers are being used, the DAC output voltages,
V
OUT
1 to V
OUT
4, can be updated to reflect new data in the DAC
input registers in one of two ways. The first method normally
keeps
LDAC
high and only pulses
LDAC
low momentarily to
update all DAC latches simultaneously with the contents of
their respective input registers. The second method ties
LDAC
low, and channel updating occurs on a per channel basis after
new data is loaded to an input register.
To avoid the DAC output going to an intermediate value during
a 2-byte transfer,
LDAC
should not be tied low permanently but
should be held high until the two bytes are written to the input
register. When the selected input register has been loaded with
the two bytes,
LDAC
should then be pulsed low to update the
DAC latch and, consequently, perform the digital-to-analog
conversion.
In many applications, it may be acceptable to allow the DAC
output to go to an intermediate value during a 2-byte transfer.
In such applications,
LDAC
can be tied low, thus using one less
control line.
The actual DAC input register that is being written to is deter-
mined by the logic levels present on the device address lines, as
shown in
Tabl e 11.

Figure 19. Unipolar 5 V Operation
Offset and gain can be adjusted in Figure 19 as follows:
• To adjust offset, disconnect the V
REF
(−) input from 0 V,
load the DAC with all 0s, and adjust the V
REF
(−) voltage
until V
OUT
= 0 V.
• To adjust gain, load the AD7834/AD7835 with all 1s and
adjust R1 until V
OUT
= 5 V(16383/16384) = 4.999695 V.
Many circuits do not require these offset and gain adjustments.
In these circuits, R1 can be omitted. Pin 5 of the
AD586 can be
left open circuit, and Pin 2 (V
REF
(−)) of the AD7834/AD7835 is
tied to 0 V.
